Emergency Accommodation

 

Where people have been evacuated from their homes then the council will open public buildings as a place of refuge for the community until such time as they are able to return to their homes.

 

As well as opening these premises, the council has a number of staff trained to staff these Rest centres and ensure the welfare of thosr using these buildings. A copy of the Rest Centre Managers Guide is attached for public information.

 

 

Persons who have been involved in the incident or are survivors of such as transport crashes will be taken to Survivor Centres, the facilities will be the same as Rest Centres. There will however be medical treatment available for any injured persons.

 

 

In the event that families and friends of survivors require information as to the whereabouts of their nearest and dearest they will be directed to a Friends and Families Reception Centre.
